just wondering what the widest tire i can fit under my car without using a hammer to make them fit

 

With 17" wheels a 315/35/17 will fit.
No hammer required.

 

This can't have a direct definate awnser really because of the tolerances in the manufacturing of these cars. You also have to take into account wether the car is lowered or if you have intentions of lowering it and also if you plan on buying the necessary suspension mods to lower it right if you decide to go that route.

Youcould without a doubt fit a 295 tire in there. I've never heard of those rubbing on a stock height car, occasionally without a panhard rod you hear of a 315 fitting without anything done, lowered you almost never hear of a 315 fitting without some modification (beating the hell out of) the fenderwell, or a panhard rod, or both.

Personally I had to do both a phr and a little massaging.

 

i have 16"

 

I hoping my 295/50/16 will fit under the car with out rubbing, I'll find out tomarrow, and let you know

 

yea when i first read posts like this, i always automatically think 17in for some reason...

i guess cause alot of 17in peeps ask this question i guess

 

Well I just had the tires mounted and they fit fine. I had a little rubbing when I made a hard right turn; however, and this will be fixed when I roll the wheel wells.

My car is lowered 2", I think this tire would fit without rubbing if the suspension was stock.

 

I'm thinking about upgrading to 18s...I'm hoping to squeeze 335/30/18s in the rear.
